What our customers are saying: Acuvue product reviews

Great product! I've been told that I have very 'dry eyes' so required a contact lens that benefits my eye. Acuvue Moist has been great, for the most part of the day I don't notice they're there, very easy to put in too.Katie

Does what it says - I only wear in one eye. Cataract lens replacement some years ago. Always a contact lens wearer before that. With these in one eye I do not need to wear reading glasses and can see both distance well and read perfectly. Comfortable, no dryness as the day progresses.Jan

Johnson & Johnson developed the world’s first disposable soft contact lens in 1987. It was an Acuvue lens that utilised the company’s Etafilcon A materials.

Who are Acuvue? A history

1950’s - 1980 Frontier Contact Lens Company, led by optometrist Seymour Marco, developed a new, more comfortable contact lens material known as etafilcon A. This water-loving, or hydrophilic, type of soft hydrogel became the material used in several Acuvue contact lenses, including 1-day Acuvue Moist; one of the most popular contact lens brands worn today.

1981 Frontier Contact Lenses was sold to Johnson & Johnson who renamed the company Vistakon, and they then overhauled the production processes so that their super comfy contacts could be brought to a wider audience.

1987 Acuvue contact lenses were released in 1987, the world’s first disposable soft contact lenses available to a big audience.

1995 Johnson & Johnson launches 1-Day Acuvue, the first daily disposable contact lenses. They are made with ultra-breathable materials that make it possible for those with dry eyes to enjoy healthy vision.
